Migrating procmail recipes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have been using imap with mbox format mail.  The new server is to us 
maildir, so all my recipes have to be migrated, and I'm having problems 
because I'm unsure of how maildir is handled in procmail.  Take this, 
for instance:

Old version - 

:0:
* ^To:.*design@xxxxxxxxxxx
{
  :0 c
  ! xxxx@xxxxxxxxxx

  :0
  ./Mail/Design
}
which worked as desired on the old, mbox, server.

New version -

MAILDIR=/home/anne/Maildir

:0:
* ^To:.*design@xxxxxxxxxxx
{
  :0 c
  ! xxxx@xxxxxxxxxx

  :0
  ./Maildir/Design/

This gives error messages such as

<anne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (expanded from <anne@localhost>): can't 
create user output file. Command output: procmail: Couldn't create  
"/var/mail/anne" /bin/sh: anne: No such file or directory procmail:

Ignoring the extraneous lockfile (now fixed) there seems to be two 
problems.  One refers to /var/spool/mail/anne.  Is that a left-over 
from mbox?  and if so, what do I need to edit?

The second is the Design folder.  On this workstation I see that as a 
sub-folder of Packbell's Inbox.  What is the syntax for moving mail to 
that folder?
